And she does indeed find him in Mandryka: a country nobleman unspoiled by the decadent big city. But before the happy ending, a misunderstanding and Mandryka's jealousy jeopardize their relationship, which is based on great mutual love.
Director Sven-Eric Bechtolf and set designer Rolf Glittenberg moved the action to the time when the opera was written, around 1930, in order to emphasize more clearly that the characters in the play are not operetta archetypes.Inspired by Mozart's Idomeneo, Strauss created a very transparent score despite the large orchestra. At the same time, he gave this comedy a deeply lyrical underpinning, into which he wove themes from South Slavic folk songs.Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal's last joint opera Arabella is spanned between two statements by the title character: "But the right one, if there is one for me, will one day stand before me" in Act 1 and "So we are bound together in sorrow and joy and pain and forgiveness!" in Act 3. The work was originally intended to be an operetta or a second Rosenkavalier. The result is a declaration of unconditional faith in the love between two people who belong to each other - and who find each other even when all the signs initially point against it.Order your tickets for the Vienna State Opera and book your tickets now at viennaticket.at.
